Friday Funnies


Hi,

It was a beautiful day in Chiang Rai. The air was crisp, the sky was almost clear, and the traffic was heavy. We left the house for a morning excursion into town. The dogs are very happy.

The 'Summer of Love' segment was brought to you by The Turtles, singing "Happy Together". 'Old School Friday' goes way back this week. This song was written and first recorded in 1933. You get a 'free pass' on the artist since so many have recorded it. "Don't know why, there's no sun up in the sky __ __..." Hint: It's about something I've been fussing about all week. This is easy. 'Cool Points' will be awarded if you can tell me the first vocalist to record this song.

Last night we kept checking to see if the rain had really stopped. It had, and this morning the pavement outside was dry. When I took Daku out on patrol it had been days since he'd actually smelled the ground. I knew everything had changed so I let him take his time. It's interesting to see how methodical dogs can be sometimes.

We set out for town with a list of things to pick up, and drop off. As it happened, most of it was on Bus Station street so that was our destination. First stop was the guitar store for a set of strings. While I was waiting for change, I noticed an electric violin on the counter. Hmm, things are getting progressive in Chiang Rai. Down the street a bit we found the perfect parking place right in front of the pet supply store. It was time for another giant bag of dog food and some treats. When that was done we just walked back a few yards to Sahapaiboon to see our friends and pick up a tool box for Lisa's art supplies. As we were checking out, I saw a spray bottle of a product to stop slipping on tile surfaces. We definitely need something like that. Non-slip tile is just a fantasy.

A few minutes drive up the highway and we were at 9 Art Gallery. We had to return a bowl that Khun Nine brought on Sunday. It had contained a fish salad. Lisa also had a 'thank you' gift for the many nice things she did during the course of the exhibition.

This evening we're hanging out watching sports shows. The tennis from Indian Wells in on, and also the Asian Winter Games so we're going back and forth. Next weekend the Formula One season begins. Zoom.

Tomorrow we're going to Mae Chan in the evening for the opening of an exhibition/open house. The artist apparently is turning his home into a permanent installation. I'll tell you about this on Monday. It's going to be an evening to remember, with most of the 'community' probably turning out. One of the patriarchs of the Chiang Rai scene will be the presenter.

Today's picture is Daku all bundled up on a recent chilly night.

Have a Wonderful WeekEnd. It's time for the 'Funnies' and a 'Thanks' to my friend Christopher.

Peace,
Danny
